Features:
- A javelin is a spear-like projectile used in the sport of athletics, consisting of a metal or carbon fiber shaft, a pointed metal head, and a cord grip around its center of gravity. For men's competitions, it must be between (2.6) and (2.7) meters long and weigh a minimum of $800$g, while for women's competitions, it must be between (2.2) and (2.3) meters long and weigh a minimum of $600$g. The shaft is typically hollow or solid, cylindrical, and tapers towards the ends, with a smooth finish.

- Parts: A javelin is comprised of three main components: a pointed metal head, a main shaft (the long part), and a cord grip.
- Material: Modern javelins are made of strong, lightweight materials like aluminum, steel, or carbon fiber.
- Shape: The shaft is a hollow or solid tube that tapers toward both ends. It must have a smooth surface without any roughness, ridges, or holes.
- Grip: A cord grip is wrapped around the javelin's center of gravity to provide a secure place for the athlete to hold it.
- Dimensions:
- Men's: Length between $2.6$m and $2.7$m, minimum weight of $800$g.
- Women's: Length between $2.2$m and $2.3$m, minimum weight of $600$g.
- Historical vs. modern: While historically used as a weapon, the modern javelin is a highly engineered piece of sports equipment designed to meet specific regulations for safe and fair competition.
